Bridget, good question. We have to admit we have only seen PUR and Britta pitchers in our neck of the woods and suspect that these folks have a lock on the market as they sell the filters that only fit into their pitchers. Now if someone else made a pitcher that fit their filters, that might be an interesting business....

What we would recommend instead is filtering your water at the tap and using your own pitcher or any style you like. That's what we do. We use Pyrex lab flasks around our house.
